There is a nice article in this month’s PCWorld magazine by Justin Phelps about a trick/hack to reset a windows password. This is sometimes necessary when repairing a windows installation and the original admin password is unknown.

It involves replacing the Sticky Keys file (Sethc.exe) with the Windows Command Prompt (Cmd.exe). Then call for the Sticky Key function with shift key (5 times) at the password prompt and use the ‘net user username password’ command.
